We have this giant, gorgeous framed print next to our huge media center and it's the perfect balance. I had a code for free shipping which came in really handy, saving me around $55. The frame was expertly packed and when I unwrapped it I literally gasped. It's gorgeous! I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another framed print (at first I was wary of the quality) as I now see the quality and overall value. Awesome.
